The following is an extract
the Monthly Business Review
Halted by the Federal Reserve
of Cleveland.
"Industry and trade are hard at
work. The hesistancy In evidence
for some time past Is being shaken off
and, refreshed by the short beeath-
lng spoil, businesslike progress is
being made. Tills progress is being
made at this season of the yeur when
a lackening tendency is usually in
ovidence.
There has been an evident determination on tho part of business to
watch for the earmarks of unhealthy
expansion, and a preference for a
normal level of activity.
Business Is now moving forward
nnd carefully watching the road ahead.
One of the outstanding features of
this forward movement is the pressing
demand for iron and steel. Even at
the present high rate of production
the output is not sufficient to supply
the demand. Orders from the railroads at this time are unusually heavy
and have reached that point where
producers are requesting that orders
postponed wherever possible. Export
demand, especially from Australia,
Japan, and Argentina, is reported to
be showing a marked Improvement.
This foreign demand Is worthy of
more than passing notice. There are
signs that European conditions are
healing. While the United States
through self-reliance has made a remarkable comeback, the fact that foreign prosperity makes for increased
home prosperity sMU holds true. The
heavy oversubscription to America's
loan is an evidence of faith that, even
though Europe may still have a long
way to travel before she can be rated
as normal, changes for the better ure
on the way.

Mich,and Mrs. John Carlson of Bessemer, Mich., are visiting at the home

OFFICERS ARREST
EACH OTHER THROUGH
MI8SUNDER8TANDINQ
Motor Constable Collins has been
doing a land office business on the
Lake road in Brownhelm township
where he has arrested many auto
moblllsts for speeding. He has been
releasing them by their depositing
from |5 to $10 bond for which he
gave a receipt, and ordered them to
appear in Justice court in Brownhelm.
Some one reported that Collins was
fining the motorists $10 and that he
was a take constable.
Monday afternoon Patrohuan Ryan
and two other policemen from Lorain
accompanied by a state auto official
went in search of the supposedly fake
constable. They aped along the road
and were promptly spoted by Colins
who rode up beside them and said,
"You're under arrest." "No we are
not,", replied Ryan, "but you are,
Come along with us." The officers
took Coitus to Lorain where he at
once established his identity, and
was allowed to go. It turned out
that the law gives him a right to
accept a cash bond in such cases,
so the laugh was on the Lorain police.
Mr. and Mra, B. E. Sanders and Mr.
and Mrs. H. J. Brown and daughter
Janet spent yesterday at Rugglea

lu a recent letter to th* president
ef the International Lyceum and
Chautauqua Association. President
Harding (at one time a Ued|tath lecturer) gave a notable Indorsement te
lite Chautauqua movement of which
ibis community Is a part.

iiav. carried the message of Chuutuu-
•ius throughout tbs country. Indeed,
one may with much confidence say
that this splendid educational movement has found Its greatest Intellectual beneficiaries among those who,
addressing varied audiences In differ-
ng and wide-scattered communities,
have known tlie eagerness with which
the people, to tbe-number of many
millions annually, seek Illumination of
public questions and tbs broadening
ef community vision.
Ths time has long sines passed
when there could oe nay doubt of
Chautauqua's service to tbe country;
we u*e ter past tbs en of misunderstanding when this great work could
be waved aside with the light word
and tbe gesture of tolerant superiority.
Its wide appeal sud high place te ths
public confidence have imposed upon
Chautauqua ao onerous responsibility.
"Chautauqua bos served to reveal
the individual American community to
itssif at Its best. It has been a voluntary, inspirational service te which
man and woman have given tha best
they have te them for the take of th*
social interest."

The following is an extract
the Monthly Business Review
Halted by the Federal Reserve
of Cleveland.
"Industry and trade are hard at
work. The hesistancy In evidence
for some time past Is being shaken off
and, refreshed by the short beeath-
lng spoil, businesslike progress is
being made. Tills progress is being
made at this season of the yeur when
a lackening tendency is usually in
ovidence.
There has been an evident determination on tho part of business to
watch for the earmarks of unhealthy
expansion, and a preference for a
normal level of activity.
Business Is now moving forward
nnd carefully watching the road ahead.
One of the outstanding features of
this forward movement is the pressing
demand for iron and steel. Even at
the present high rate of production
the output is not sufficient to supply
the demand. Orders from the railroads at this time are unusually heavy
and have reached that point where
producers are requesting that orders
postponed wherever possible. Export
demand, especially from Australia,
Japan, and Argentina, is reported to
be showing a marked Improvement.
This foreign demand Is worthy of
more than passing notice. There are
signs that European conditions are
healing. While the United States
through self-reliance has made a remarkable comeback, the fact that foreign prosperity makes for increased
home prosperity sMU holds true. The
heavy oversubscription to America's
loan is an evidence of faith that, even
though Europe may still have a long
way to travel before she can be rated
as normal, changes for the better ure
on the way.

Mich,and Mrs. John Carlson of Bessemer, Mich., are visiting at the home

OFFICERS ARREST
EACH OTHER THROUGH
MI8SUNDER8TANDINQ
Motor Constable Collins has been
doing a land office business on the
Lake road in Brownhelm township
where he has arrested many auto
moblllsts for speeding. He has been
releasing them by their depositing
from |5 to $10 bond for which he
gave a receipt, and ordered them to
appear in Justice court in Brownhelm.
Some one reported that Collins was
fining the motorists $10 and that he
was a take constable.
Monday afternoon Patrohuan Ryan
and two other policemen from Lorain
accompanied by a state auto official
went in search of the supposedly fake
constable. They aped along the road
and were promptly spoted by Colins
who rode up beside them and said,
"You're under arrest." "No we are
not,", replied Ryan, "but you are,
Come along with us." The officers
took Coitus to Lorain where he at
once established his identity, and
was allowed to go. It turned out
that the law gives him a right to
accept a cash bond in such cases,
so the laugh was on the Lorain police.
Mr. and Mra, B. E. Sanders and Mr.
and Mrs. H. J. Brown and daughter
Janet spent yesterday at Rugglea
Beach.
Dr. and Mr*. HoVerd O. Porter of
